Iran’s oil minister said that the first of its new contracts would be finalised with Total within two months, according to the Mehr News agency.
Bijan Zanganeh said that a contract was still being pursued with Total but noted recent comments from the chief executive of the French company indicated it was awaiting feedback from the United States.
“From the information I have the policy of the European Union is not subordinate to the United States,” Zanganeh told Mehr News.
